Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great, fun to play. Keeps everyone happy. Just as expected from nintendo.

I was a latecomer to the Switch. I did the whole GameCube and Wii thing. Skipped the Wii-U and (until now) the Switch. Mainly because I assumed it would be Nintendo's usual *slightly less powerful* console offering that they had done for the previous 3 generations. While it's true that in many of the titles shared between the consoles, you probably aren't going to be able to match the graphics quality of the PS4 or XBOX One in a side by side comparison, games can be beautiful and fun without needing photo realistic models. Nintendo has always had a way of taking its exclusives and flagships and producing visually stunning artistic landscapes (Zelda is just awesome) and pairing them with original scores that perfectly convey the emotions and mood of the moment. Most of the titles available on the more powerful systems are also available for the Switch (The Witcher 3, Red Dead Online, CoD, Battlefield). There may be reduced graphics compared to the others, but only enough to allow smooth gameplay. In my opinion, unless you are playing the same title on multiple consoles, the differences are unnoticeable while immersed in playing. The fact you can dock/undock without stopping your game, its compact size paired with a large screen, along with all the other little conveniences it has far outweigh a few slightly lower res shadows or textures.

The new switch game system is versatile, able to play on a large screen at home or to enjoy on the road. Have a hand held system also being able to be used as a at home console is a huge plus.

My Great Grandson was so surprised he was speechless. He is not usually seen without it in his hands.

Very user friendly, lots of fun games. One of the best consoles you can buy right now!

Bought as a gift for my sister, she loved it! So fun and easy to take everywhere.

Easy setup, amazing quality, everything works great!

What more to say. This is the best console for my 10 and 6 year old. We have about 12 games by now and extra controllers. We love it. Animal Crossing is their favorite and they play it everyday. Hardware is marvelous and updates are easy to install. Everything is pretty intuitive and kids figure it all out pretty quick. Just let the adults set up the docking station to the tv.

The Nintendo Switch offers a great variety of games for such a new console, including some instant classics from Nintendo (Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2) and other developers (Rabbids Kingdom, Sonic Mania), and I look forward to playing Bethesda titles like Skyrim, Doom, and the new Wolfenstein 2 soon enough. While the console offers a pure gaming system (as Nintendo handhelds have always done), there is word that other multimedia capabilities are on their way (the likes of Netflix etc). The unit itself is a beautiful achievement in design. It's unusually lightweight for something that packs so much punch (great for extended play sessions), and the controllers (although small) are sturdy and offer a wide array of inputs to help control 3D and innovative games. One gripe I had is that you can't plug the unit into the stand to charge and play games off the screen, it has the screen blocked and must be connected to an HDMI display- you can charge and play, but you need to have the unit in handheld mode. Another gripe is that the only way to charge the controllers is by having them connected to the console. Each of these issues are easily fixed by purchasing accessories to help, and do not really affect the enjoyment of the Switch at all. 32GB of space already in the machine made it easy for me to purchase a game straight out of the box, ready to play. Expandable with micro SD cards means that adding more games is relatively cost-effective (much cheaper than Vita's proprietary memory cards, or having to buy new hard drives for other home consoles). Overall, the Switch is an excellent gaming machine for all kinds of gamers across a wide range of ages, and with Nintendo's best ever support for indie titles, there is a bright future ahead for the console and its owners.

I purchased this as a gift for someone that is very familiar with the Switch already. The quality and fun of this console is really high. I slightly prefer the regular Switch over the Switch Lite because it can be plugged into into television. This updated version has a better battery life per charge and everything else about it is just as great as the original console version.

amazing product, fast shipping, solid packaging, great experience

Great console, the controllers are cheaply made, very portable and convenient

Bought for son, then bought Zelda for myself and that sold it for me...the ability to take the game everywhere on the tablet or play on the big screen is genius. Wanna play two player ? Just push a button on the back of the controller to unlock it from the game pad and each player gets a half ! Only complaint and it’s super minor is the 2 hour battery life if you’re playing on the tablet so long car rides will require a separate charger for the car but that’s it

This is awesome. Just as good as the Gamecube! Works with TV or you can take it with you!

Personally, I have never been a big Nintendo fan though we did have a Nintendo U. From my experience, this is the best Nintendo gaming system ever developed. I do love the dual option of handheld or TV screen play. However, like with most gaming systems you end up needing a bunch of extra items that drive the cost up, not even counting the games. I have not tried playing with two controllers in the super controller holder which may make things better, but using the single small controller was difficult for me. The controller was too small for my hands and made them hurt. Probably not a problem for kids or adults with smaller hands. However, when the whole family plays we need all four controllers that we own so I have to use the little one or we have to purchase even more accessories.

I've always loved Nintendo products, but they've really outdone themselves with the Switch. The hybrid nature of the console makes it conducive to both long sessions on the couch, but also short bursts of play on the go. While admittedly the line up of games at launch was pretty sparse, the Switch library is quickly expanding, including many games that are strong contenders for GOTY. I would definitely recommend the Switch to just about anyone who loves gaming.

I love the switch, there’s lots of good games to play, and the portable aspect is great!

Pretty self explanatory. Awesome console. Great portable gaming option too.

I am very satisfied customer, due to great quality. I really recommend other customers to get a Nintendo Switch from Best Buy.

Bought this from my daughter. Feedback from her as well as me playing with it. Great handheld but controllers too small for in tv gaming, unless you buy another controller and the holder for it. Needs more tv app as it only supports hulu. Updates hopefully will correct that.
